Jinbu Outing with Min Young


Min Young, a 20 year old Seoulite came as a guest in Santisuk in late April. She rented the room for 50,000 won per night. However, surprisingly Nandida offered her to work with her for a year and study english with the wwoofers which was a great idea. Since then, we became good friends. These days we went to the open market in Jinbu but with Haein.

It snowed whenever we wanted to go out. Our outing has its own special name, as invented by Hojin - 'Prison Break'

Haein with her spongebob bag. We couldn't wait to go out but we missed the 2.10pm bus to Jinbu. Luckily, Nandida's friend gave us a ride.
Nandida's friend bought us tteokpokki and heotteok before she left us.

Haein's schoolmate and obviously she's the prettiest
because she's our princess!! ^^
Min Young and Haein.
W drank banana milk which I previously hate. I prefer the blue version -
lite banana milk rather than the regular green which tasted like cold/flu
medicine to me.

The lite version.

I took this picture from Lee Seung Bok memorial but it was so
ironic cause the next day it was bright and sunny.

Nandida!!
I bought face masks for the family and we tried it.

Though Haein is still young - 11 years old but we
wanted her to have a tryout too..hehe.

Planting Royal Azaleas 철쭉 in Spring

Mr Lee, Hojin and Haein planted flowers for spring but I couldn't help them cause I had to take care Ratana. Weather in early spring is really unpredictable, sometimes it was very warm, sometimes it rained and even snowed. Hmmm..I should say that if you come in May, the weather is still quite cold between 10 to 15 celcius so be prepared with some jacket/cardigan.
